Small town so not many places to eat in the area

The amount of drinking that goes on outside of campus.

I like the college that I am attending and I don't see any major problems with it. The only thing that would be nice is to have more study rooms on the library for individual people, not just groups.

The financial aid system because the students that are most in need of aid do not always get it and when they have questions they do not get straight answers. Instead they are given the run around and told to go to various buildings on campus.

I wish it were bigger. I wouldn't recommend this school for students who currently live in big cities and love big cities.

Socially, I feel like there's quite a bit of emphasis on partying here. I don't have a problem with it, but it's hard to find a group of friends that are like me; I like to have a good time, but I don't go out every weekend and while I have drunk, I've never gotten wasted, and it seems like people either like getting completely trashed or don't party at all and are kind of antisocial, and it's hard to find a group of friends who are at a happy medium.

The worst thing would be how hard it is to come to the school knowing no other people. A lot of people come to this school after going to high school with their friends, so it makes it somewhat difficult for those coming in outside of this area to make friends.

Probably the fact that it's located in the midwest and therefore the majority of the school year consists of snowy walks to and from class.

the cafeteria food is not very good at all.

I would say that the worst thing would be the lack of places to eat or even shop. The nearest city with a good mall is not even 20 miles away, but a lot of freshmen don't take their cars to school and that can be a problem if there isn't public transportation.
